The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[goatamous II]

@Letric the timing is making me feel like a slacker.
I'm cleaning a pair of AE myself but I just slapped some conditioner on it and putting some touch up polish
now I feel like I should put in more effort in my cleaning

Snagged this for a great price at a recent estate sale.

Yup. Made in Japan ChroMo. I've had a couple of these and they ride super nice. Honestly I'm a sucker for the old steel bikes and have a couple 80s Treks in my own stable.

They’ve also got a bit of a cult following - if you are flipping, using the terms Grant Petersen (designer) and Rivendell should attract the right sort of two-wheeled weirdos ;-)

nothing too crazy but i did find some pretty cool stuff today. NF ski pants and that hoodie should pay for the whole ~30 piece lot at $11 PPU or so

also found 5 or 6 sick vintage gant blazers at another store earlier this week, need to go back and see if they have more. didn’t get to go through the pants last time i was there. might go there today after i charge my phone. will post this weekend.

happy thrifting, y‘all.

Accidentally logged off for a year. Haven’t been thrifting a ton in the past year, but here are some cool finds that I don’t think got posted.

Cameras were the score of the year. Nikon f3 and FG with three nice Nikkor lenses (plus the broken pentacon 6 body) for $100.

And a few finds from this week. The 10x hat was less than a dollar and the 5x was $10. Both watches running well, keeping the Elgin for the personal collection.

what size hats ?

 

[heathenist]

I'm in Denver for work and staring at this for $24.

Man, you could have bought this. Drug it out to the parking lot, taken a photo, listed it for $250 and had it taken off your hands without even leaving the premises.

what size hats ?

Tiny. Black is labeled 6 3/4, brown is missing the tag but measures a hair bigger than the black hat, maybe 6 7/8.

Happy to make a deal/trade with any of you cowboys/girls/theys with little heads.

I know right, it hurt me to leave it. But I was traveling for work and hat to straight up boogie out of there. RIP.

This thing is chunky man.
11.25 grams just sitting in the showcase.
I'm actually kinda digging it .

Bro, had I seen that post in time I would have carried that bih home myself. I'm literally 4 blocks from where he was at.

lovely studio craft (sadly unsigned) sofa in the monterey rancho style. collapsible snack/drink tables are a nice touch.

@txwoodworker & others, any assist in identify the wood(s) used?
